Day 21. The End.

Today, we got up at the crack of dawn, 0445. Richard and Linda provided breakfast for us, and we were on our way by 0539.
We drove to the Wasta Rest Area and took a short break. We wanted the sun to get a little higher in the sky so we could see without squinting. We gassed in Murdo and got gas and lunch in Mitchell. We stopped for a pop in Worthington, and a last gas stop in Windom. I got home at 1720.

What secret would you tell? What band would you see? What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfill? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?" ------- Ben Tyler

She looked out the window a long long moment Then she looked into my eyes She didn't have to say a thing, I knew what she was thinkin'
